Welcome to the new version of my rapgenius api.

Unlike previous versions this one eschews screen scraping. Instead it uses the rapgenius api directly.

You can search, view artists and song data easily using this client library.

There a few differences in logic between this version and the rest: This version makes use of rapgenius' data identifiers as opposed to names

Since rapgenius is not just about rap you can also use it for accessing news stories, poetry, rock etc.

To download, just do.

$ npm install rapgeniusapi

from command line
